Album Notes & Community Reviews

Nick Saloman, the sole creative force behind the long-running British project, continues his prolific output with a robust collection of guitar-driven rock. 'Valedictory Songs' blends lengthy, fuzz-heavy psychedelic guitar workouts with surprisingly tender, introspective, 1960s-influenced pop songwriting. The album further cements Saloman's reputation as an underground hero of modern, lo-fi psychedelia.
